Excellent unit in Bangkok. It was stylish, clean and big. You're able to cook some simple meals. Netflix works well and is great! We booked this place so that we can stay in and chill w Netflix while during Thai King Cremation.
Location:
Location is ok if you are willing to spend time and money in and out of the house. It takes about 15-20 mins drive from Airbnb to nearest station at Petchaburi MRT. On peak period it will take 40 minutes due to traffic.
We did not take the motorbikes taxi service outside. We took grab/uber which costs 80-100 baht to the nearest MRT station Petchaburi. For peak hours it may cost more. We feel that metered taxis will be cheaper at 50-80 but there were none outside the complex.
However, you can fully utilize the free shuttle bus service from the Mall beside named SHOWDC. They go to different parts of the town and also to airport! Take note for some services u will need to make a booking prior (ESP airport) however, the timings for shuttle buses are not accurate. We waited at Petchaburi station (Makkasan Airport Link) there were more buses then stated on the schedule and leaves at irregular timing. If you decide to cab from Makkasan station, the pick up and drop off point is very foreign to all drivers. Our rides got cancelled multiple times and we had to get another Thai to help tell the driver where to pick us up.
SHOWDC is 3-5 mins walk away. Has excellent food, slightly pricer than terminal 21. But is extremely new and quiet we loved it.
CHECK IN:
Drivers can find the location but was not farmiliar and is very new to them. Do note that one u entered complex, it's at Building C. Staff at The minimart has close to zero English ability. But they are expecting you.
ROOM:
Excellent view, good quality furnitures.
Air con was very warm and we couldnt sleep first night. An air con technician came on the second day to fix it and was back to normal.
Netflix worked really well!
Bed was alright
Would be a plus to have a hair dryer :) Cooking is available with all equipment and simple sauces and condiments available.
Facilities
They have a common facilities complex but is usually close except for minimart and gym/pool. Pool entrance is $7 per entry per pax. We did not use it.
Washing Machines and Dryers are available. The security guards at the gates were very friendly. We felt very very safe.
Overall, we love the apartment but the location kind of makes us lazy to get out cos we are far away and traffic is bad, also maybe because we are situated just beside the main road/highway.
